Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter Nights Complete review

By Ixandra posted 13th April

An old game that doesn't stop being amazing. Having played the Neverwinter Nights 2 about halfway through in co-op, I can safely say I've had a lot of fun. The game has crashed a few times while running it in windows 7 but switching to compatibility mode has solved the problems so far. I definitely recommend it for anyone liking RPGs.

Neverwinter Nights: Incredibly weak main campaign, but that's to be expected given that the game was pretty much an afterthought for the toolset. At such a low price ($7.50 for me), it's worth getting for the mods alone, some of which are quite impressive.

Neverwinter Nights 2: A rather unfortunate effort by Obsidian as far as the main campaign goes. However, although the game mechanics remain flawed, the 'Mask of the Betrayer' expansion is well worth playing for the rather good story. In fact, MotB was pretty much the main reason I bought this package.

I waited for this to go back on sale. Two of the best games I have ever owned. NWN2 online can be as good as other MMORPG's, the only problem I find is some servers really push roleplaying. If your like me and some roleplaying is fun, but you get tired of over playing your character (not sure how often people just walk up to random people and start a long drawn out conversation culminating in what would be a few week adventure, to me that is not roleplaying) Trinity and Sigil are two servers I have found to be relaxing with occasional roleplaying scenarios.

Not only are these great games, but they're great games at a bargain price. Old or not, the focus of these games wasn't the graphics anyway, and the gameplay with that classic D&D charm continues to shine through. On top of the stories present, there is also a fair amount of humour: Grobnar, the insane bard's comments concerning the height of Khelgar "Dwarf-that-wants-to-be-a-monk" Ironfist can be absolutely hilarious. They give enough development to the characters that a simple joke, combined with Grobnar's marvelous voice actor, multiplies itself. The characters are people you feel like you know. Unless you decided not to use them, which is entirely an option. At points I left the majority of my very capable squadron of companions in the tavern, preferring to travel with the same few that I felt I connected with. The game allows you to do this, but also provides certain downsides to neglecting your other prospective friends. The character creation system is detailed; it's very similar to what you'd expect should you play a campaign in D&D 3/3.5. On top of classes, there are also the many, many prestige classes. I should note that the majority of this post concerns Neverwinter Nights 2, the base game. I didn't even diverge into its addons, or its precursor, the addons alone adding over 10 hours of gameplay to an already monumentous game. I sincerely recommend this bundle.

I am glad to finally grab this on sale! NWN is one of my favorite series ever. It's hard to believe it's been almost ten years. I prefer the original over the sequel, but both games are great. It was amazing (at the time) to play a game that felt like Baldur's Gate and and looked like Morrowind. My experience with Western RPG's was top-down until NWN. These games opened the door to me playing the Elder Scrolls series*, Mass Effect Series, and the much newer Dragon Age Series. Bioware knows what they're doing!

One thing to note; I am sure it has been patched by now, but on my first playthrough I ran into a gamebreaking glitch. I killed some deer outside of one of the towns which caused the villagers and main-quest-giver to attack me.

*I know TES series is not Bioware.

Classic D&D games in one big bundle, what more could you want.

With the Development kit and the years of consumer made DLC you have a set of games that will give you years of content to play through.

... getting this bundle on sale is like almost just stealing.

By flaviojcojr posted 25th March

The games are just as amazing as they were when originally released! Do you like third edition Dungeons and Dragons? Well, this game is basically that, but in computer form. Plenty of mods out there for those who want them and tons of persistent worlds (mini-MMORPGs, ranging from action PvP to deep DM-heavy roleplay. This is the sort of game you could easily play for months or even longer. Simply put, once you get into Neverwinter Nights, you'll likely have no need or desire to play another role-playing game for a long time--or any other game for that matter. Neverwinter is a Legacy for Bioware and all Eletronic RPG Games.

Neverwinter Nights Complete review

By ketersephirot posted 14th March

Neverwinter Nights is the best multiplayer D&D 3.0 experience you can have with a PC.

Playing with friends is just like play the real D&D with paper and dices.

The single player experience is also really good although you maybe miss a bit the "classic" D&D party as in Baldur's Gate or IceWind Dale.

The 3d engine of the game still looks very good.

NWN2 is even better : using the new D&D3.5 ruleset, a revamped 3d engine and imho a better single player campaign (especially the expansions) it's simply one of the greatest CRPG based on Dungeons and Dragons ruleset.

Two must-have for any D&D and CRPG player.

A brilliant game series (one of my favourite RPGs infact), the only thing holding it back is that its got some odd bugs and the AI in Neverwinter Nights 2 can have pathfinding and spell-casting issues which might frustrate some, though it didn't bother me too much. Worthy purchase and a must for any RPG fan.

Developed by Bioware and Obsidian, this package contains two stellar entries in Dungeons and Dragons gaming history. Spanning the lengthy core Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, also included are 3 official expansions for NWN1 and 2 official expansions for the sequel. Also, note that these games are infinitely expandable by downloading fan made Modules for new adventures. Also, recently the official Bioware premium modules for the original game are now freeware, so don't forget those quality adventures as well. I haven't tried these in multiplayer myself, but from what I understand, its the closest thing to running a tabletop game possible from a PC or Mac, so give these a shot, moreso if it's on sale!

A flawed classic... but a classic nonetheless

By Kosmonaut posted 28th February

I have been a fan of CRPG for years, and I used to be a Bioware fan. I remember getting Neverwinter Nights the month it was released. It was a cool game, but ultimately disappointing.

Neverwinter Nights 2, being a game from one of my favorite developers (Obsidian) was on my "must get list" event before being released... until I started to watch some gameplay, and reading some reviews. After playing the game I was utterly disappointed by its bland mechanics, pervasive hand-holding and severe unoptimization. The demo was a hog for my (at that time) reasonably decent PC. Anyways, I just ended skipping it altogether.

The only decent thing from NWN2 is the "Mask of the Betrayed" expansion. This game is actually good. And although it shares the same uninteresting mechanics, high demanding engine as its predecessor, it actually raises the bar in the story department.

And it was for that game that I got this package on special. MotB is actually worth of the collection price. Even if you dislike NWN, I still recommend this expansion.

Fun adventure game. It preserves all the character complexity of D&D without the need for a calculator or handbook, making it great for both new and experienced players. The graphics are pretty good on both, especially considering how old the first one is.

By Tremos posted 21st February

I've never liked RPG's with more than one character. I've always thought it as too hectic and messy. That may be the reason why I don't like Baldursgate. But Neverwinter Nights 2 has always had a place in my heart, it just has that special something. Story is epic, and it really kicks in in the later part of the game. Characters and their relationships are quite amusing even though I always despised Neeshka. Graphically it looks good, but camera has occasionally some issues

This is one of the best deal i ever buyed. One big feature of these games is the user created game modules that are available for free. Just go to the 'NWN vault' for lots of add on content. If you enjoy old school rpg types game on a truly epic scale then I highly recommend picking up this game.

Without a doubt the best deal for months

By supernova54321 posted 19th February

Whether you are a big fan of D&D or not, the Neverwinter Nights series offers a huge, deep and potentially infinite amount of on and offline gaming.

Neverwinter Nights 1 + expansions offers the solid basics of D&D 3.5 gameplay with an easy to use UI to ease in beginners, hours upon hours of deep single player campaigns and solid tools for playing online with friends, for the more advanced users.

NWN 2 + expansions has been criticised for not improving on the DM tools of the first NWN, and from what I understand the online community never took off in quite the same way, but it still offers the same (and improved) kind of gameplay with fresh graphics and expanded functionality and character building.

Whatever your tastes, if you're even remotely into RPGs of any kind you can't afford to miss out on this package. Buying it on offer will give you an eye-wateringly good deal (I got it on the NWN weekend for 7 quid) but even for the normal price of £20 it's still a pretty good offer that will give you 10+ single players campaigns of incredible depth, and a huge bang for your buck.

If you call yourself a RPG enthusiast and you never played this game before, then what the hell is wrong with you? This pack contains all of the Neverwinter Nights games (1 and 2) and all of its expansions. If you're looking to grab the whole Neverwinter Nights pack, then this is definitely the best choice.

Simply put, every cRPG fan should buy this package, as it contains NWN and NWN2 with all expansion packs, multiplying the experience and replayability. Of course, there is also the multiplayer, which is supported by a wide range of communities and modders, creating and playing with a passion for the game.

Personally, it is one of my favourite games of all-time, because it is the essence of role-playing games. Remember people, it's not about the graphics, but the exeperience and fun you get by buying this package. 5/5, hands down!

Multiplayer is where its at

By Brygun posted 14th December 2011

This game package includes both versions of the Neverwinter Nights (NWN) games and their modules.

NWN itself is based on the famous Dungeons and Dragons game mechanics. Specifically the 3.5 edition of the game. Standalone you can play the modules for alot of fun in different classes.

The real adventure in the game is playing online. You see every copy of NWN has the abilty to host a game. You can do it for a few friends one night or setup a Persistent World (PW). This gives you a huge expansion to the game play. Some game worlds change the mechanics and/or the setting to various fan works (Like The True Source 2 being a fan game of the Wheel of Time). Original settings include Layonara. There are alot more than I can mention.

Gameplay online varies considerably. The quality of the stories and the people varies. I've had both alot of joy and alot of frustration at times. NWN is the game that has been on and off my hard drive the most often.

As a veteran player who already has most of these I decided to buy the collection again for a few reasons. One is that it puts it all happily in one place. The other is that original game CDs where from the CD era. I my original NWN disk shatter inside a modern high speed drive.

The NWN community is quite large. There are several places that also rate the works of others.

Some of those websites are:

http://www.neverwinterconnections.com/

http://nwvault.ign.com/

From those you can find alot of people, places, mods to pay on. Nwvault also has single player modules available for download.

The game itself is 5/5 for me. A huge amount of gaming time available. Building, modding and hosting ability included in the same price. Multiplayer online is where its at for this one.
